WIP: House of Blythe
To all y’all saying that ”FTKs suck” and “you can’t make them consistent in Genesys”.

Some of y’all have some neat ideas going into it, but you’re not doing it right. I promise you.

Just realized that a lot of the people I deployed with—like a VAST majority of them—are either divorced, dead, or widowed.

Just got departmental honors (magma cum laude) for creative writing after writing the first 55 pages for House of Blythe.

Story has legs, but needs a full on overhaul.

David Fincher is apparent directing the American Squid Games series.

I was really hoping for a Wes Anderson Squid Games

bots are becoming a bigger thing on this platform now. not as bad as twitter, but it’s a shame that no matter what, we’re forced into experiencing the internet technological rot that infests online spaces now

Have an uncomfortable medical procedure, job interview or something else you're dreading coming up? Want it to seem like it's finished and done much faster than the long, drawn-out way you fear it will take? Then this is for you.

Dune has the same plot as the Westminster Dog Show: After generations of careful breeding, we have produced this perfect little freak of nature and now it has behavioral issues
Mom: Let's pick out a Christmas movie to watch on Thanksgiving. Which one do you guys want to watch?

Have a Thursday. #Thanksgiving was a day where colonists massacred and mistreated Natives that were on their land long before them.

Do your due diligence and read up on some of the real origin of Thanksgiving

Taking a quick look at Quoridor Pac-Man, a fascinating little crossover no one asked for and I haven't seen any real chatter about!

I’m limit myself in which board games I get. A lot of heavy Euro have a war-based theme or colonization. And that’s not up my alley.

This is like if Animal Crossing made a heavy euro game. All about it

I can only imagine the existential crisis one would have if you logged on the internet one day and found your grown-up child, making Instagram videos about the “health benefits” of drinking their own piss.

Looks like Sweet Lands is going to be able to hit its final stretch goal before it’s #Kickstarter time is over.

I’m excited.

I don’t have any heavy Euro #boardgames, as a lot of them are either war-based or are complex colonization efforts. I can handle, “build a Candy city”

Heroclix has been a game that has tried really hard to correct mechanics and make them work.

The one thing keeping me out of the game is the price for competitive play.

Last year, if you couldn’t afford Carnage Silver Surfer and Mephisto plus tarot cards, why are you trying?

#gaming and #nintendo fans

How are y’all with #Wario Land 3?

For GBC, it’s a beautiful game. But they really took “non linear gameplay” to a teeth gritting level. I want to like it, but it’s not working for me.

And don’t get me started on the golf mini game. Worst mini game of the series

I want to make a blog one day, where I take a bunch of mushrooms and review movies while on them.

The tragic irony of a guy who got 5 deferments for bone-spurs for Vietnam, will take away as many veteran benefits he can because he thinks we are gaming the system.

He looks at us as the new “welfare queens”
